Short Description:
-----------------
Off-line training for Windows Internet...no-punches-pulled,
down and dirty help with the information and skills needed
to become competent and confident with Windows Internet in
the shortest possible time. Covers essential skills needed
for Internet tasks, software requirements, shopping for a
provider, making sure your computer is internet-fit, and no
"dummies". Designed for ease of use even by first-time
computer users.
Long Description:
----------------
This is interactive Internet for Windows, the first
resource of its kind, and one of the finest all-around
training and tools packages ever created for Windows users.
So complete and easy to use that it doesn't even come with a
manual. Install the program, click on an icon, and whether
you have an Internet account or not, you'll have the Internet
at your fingertips...and instant access to the Windows skills
you'll need to make the most of it. Within half an hour
you'll have tools, knowledge and experience that it takes
most new users weeks or even months to acquire, and access to
resources only the most experienced net "surfers" ever
discover...whether you are connected to the Internet or not!
The Internet is not point-and-click easy. First Train for
the Internet is that easy, and the information and tutorials
contained in this shareware version will help insure that it
stays easy. First Train makes sure you can not only perform
the tasks, but understand what you're doing. You'll gain
needed skills with the least possible time and effort.
Author and developer Cub Lea is respected as one of the most
understanding and thorough novice- to intermediate-level DOS
and Windows trainers in North America. This package has been
described by users as the easiest, most sensitive skills
enhancement package they have ever used. Covers everything
from backups and ZIP archives to ergonomics, virus
protection, Internet security and fine-tuning Windows
performance. (Not all of these areas are available in the
unregistered version.) Designed for use by absolute
computer novices to advanced intermediate Internet veterans
with features and information to appeal to both ends of the
spectrum.
Registration fee:
----------------
US$20.00 for the shareware version (plus $2.50 s&h within
Canada and the US; $5.00 elsewhere)
Materials that come with Registration:
-------------------------------------
The registered shareware version includes free utilities
for managing everyday computing and Internet chores, additional
walk-throughs for maintaining your own system, customizing
utilities for tailoring the look and feel of First Train, and
many more graphics. It also includes a completely integrated
version of the PC/Internet Lexicon...click on almost any
Internet-related word or phrase to see its definition pop up.
Also included with registration is a $20.00 rebate on the
purchase of the complete Tourist Class or First Class version
of First Train for the Internet when purchased directly from
Dynamic Living Media.
**IMPORTANT NOTE:**
This package is constantly evolving and changing as the net
changes; a complete list of features is not provided here as
this would be impractical. We reserve the right to add and
remove features at our discretion; however the overall value
and utility of the package will not be compromised by these
changes.
